Spool Knitting

"Spool Knitting" by Mary A. McCormack is an early 20th-century guide that introduces the charming craft of spool knitting, a method of knitting with a wooden spool and yarn that's perfect for beginners and children. The book begins by teaching the basic skills of spool knitting, including how to make a toy knitter. Then, it offers instructions for many projects suitable for children learning to craft. Readers can learn to make clothes for dolls, various toys, simple items for the home like mats and bags, and fun accessories such as rattles and caps. The book highlights the fun of making things and motivates young knitters to use their imaginations through crafting, which helps them feel proud as they make things for themselves or as gifts.
